“At Cape Town City Hall, our experienced local guide explains the story behind the Nelson Mandela statue: arm raised toward the Grand Parade where Madiba delivered his first public address after his release on 11 February 1990. The sculpted details—including his trademark glasses—capture the warmth of that moment as he spoke about unity, peace, and rebuilding South Africa.”
The statue stands on the exact balcony where Mandela spoke to a sea of supporters on the Grand Parade.
Parts of the address were delivered extemporaneously after a long day of celebrations and delays.
One of his most quoted lines from that day: “I stand before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people.”
City Hall and the Grand Parade remain symbolic gathering places for major civic moments in Cape Town.

“Our Table Mountain hike was simply unforgettable. Our guide was patient, knowledgeable, and shared fascinating stories about the mountain’s history and flora. Reaching the top felt like standing on the edge of the world — clouds below, ocean ahead, and the city sparkling in the distance. Thank you, Level 7 Tours, for turning a bucket-list dream into a beautiful memory!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I never thought we’d hike before sunrise — because my husband is not a morning person... but watching the first light over Cape Town from Lion’s Head was worth every step. Our guide’s energy and humor kept us going, and the view… absolutely breathtaking. This experience made me fall in love with the city.”

“Our Cape Town city walk with Level 7 Tours was so much more than sightseeing — it was storytelling at its finest. We stood where Mandela once spoke, learned about the city’s architecture, and laughed a lot. I left feeling connected to Cape Town in a way I never expected.”
